would have been more fitting for Edmonds to have been clad in a speedo instead of the traditional baseball uni.

You would've liked that, wouldn't you, pugs?

Especially if it was pink. 

Barney won the Fielding Bible Award at 2B.  That's overall MLB, not just NL.

Pretty sure, I've tried to put it out of my mind, and I am old and confused, His uncle is Dog the Bounty Hunter, believe it or not.

My appologies if I am remembering incorrectly.

Molina wins.

I'm thinking of what my dream team of Golden Glovers might look like?

C - Tie between Yadi and Johnny with a tip of the cap to Yogi.

P - "Sudden" Sam McDowell or Greg Maddux possibl

1st - Mark Grace

2nd - Stumped......Robby Alomar possibly?

SS - Oz.

3rd - Brooks Robinson

Outfielders(3) - Willie Mays, Jimmy Ballgame and .....maybe a Paul Blair?

Pugs,

How can you leave out Roberto Clemente? or Curt Flood?


Just saying?????

My three Outfielders have to be Mays, Clemente and Flood

2nd base

Bill Maszroski or Joe Morgan

In a radio interview with Pat Hughes (Cub announcer) in 2011 I believe, he was saying that eventually the Cubs will switch Barney and Starlin Castro, with Barney moving to short and Castro to second, because Barney is a much better defensive player.

I was surprised by that comment, and the Cubs obviously haven't done anything about it yet so who knows.

Never heard that they were going to eventually move Oh My Starling Castro to 2nd, but they was much talk about moving him to 3rd with that cannon of an arm he has.

Yes Yes! I like your 3 outfielders better than mine, HH. How could I forget about The Great One(Roberto)??? I was very young at the tail end of his career, but I do faintly recall his game. Maz at 2nd was supposedly a dandy as well.

Javier was as good a second baseman as Mazeroski, although his style was diffferent.

As for pitchers, the two best fielding pitchers of all time have to be Jim Kaat and Bob Gibson.

Got to go with JMod here. Jim Kaat hands down was the best fielding pitcher ever. Best outfielder i ever saw play was Ellis Valentine. He was incredible. Bench close to Molina but not quite. Honorable mention. Aparicio, Michael Jack ,Keith Hernandez(before the straw), Vizquel and Benny Santiago.
